Shinobu Ohtaka's Magi Fantasy Adventure Manga Gets TV Anime

Quote:

The official website for Shogakukan's Jisedai World Hobby Fair '12 Summer event shows a giveaway pamphlet for Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine, which reveals the television anime adaptation of Shinobu Ohtaka's Magi fantasy adventure manga. The manga re-imagines tales from the classic story One Thousand and One Nights (also known as Arabian Nights).

Ohtaka, the creator of Sumomomo Momomo, has been serializing Magi in Weekly Shonen Sunday since 2009, and Shogakukan will publish the 13th compiled book volume next month.

Earlier this year, Masaki Nawada, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Sunday, revealed that the manga has a "huge project" in development. The domain "project-magi.com" has been registered and is currently pointing to the name server "ns.sme.co.jp," a domain owned by Sony Music Entertainment.

Since aniplex registered the domain they will be the production company. We can safely rule out synergy SP since they had not worked on a anime together and they rarely work with JC staff on anything minus toradora. Most likely it will be production IG.

I think it will be "A-1 Pictures" or "Sony Pictures Entertainment" ( they have also making some Animes^^ ), because "Production I.G." is not an Aniplex-Company.
